What Can We Learn from Houston?

So what can we learn from the recent (2015) revamp of Houston's bus system, undertaken with the help of Jarrett Walker and Associates? Turns out a lot of encouraging things about connectivity, community driven process, and frequency -- check out this cool video on Houston, "High Frequency: Why Houston Is Back on the Bus." 

And if you haven't had a chance yet, please do send in your input through the online survey for the first phase of our very own Richmond TransitNetwork Plan, which as we know is currently underway with the help of J. Walker's crew. You can see a few FAQ's about the plan here too. We'll be in touch about future meetings and opportunities for input in phase two.
